Hi! Pelias maintainer here. The Pelias geocoder class in geopy includes a `country_bias` parameter on the search function: https://github.com/geopy/geopy/blob/af0eedcfeb4e3eec88f19e2f822e7f14ac3468eb/geopy/geocoders/pelias.py#L112 However, Pelias only includes the [`boundary.country`](https://github.com/pelias/documentation/blob/master/search.md#search-within-a-particular-country) parameter, which is a _hard...

Many US Cities have numbered streets with leading zeros

3

Some cities in the US have streetnames with leading zeros on numbered streets, for example `05th Avenue` instead of `5th Avenue`. It's [relatively simple](https://github.com/pelias/openaddresses/pull/26/files) to clean up these specific cases,...

A helpful but sometimes confusing part of the APIs behavior is that it queries Elasticsearch on startup to get the list of [custom sources and layers](https://github.com/pelias/api#custom-sources-and-layers). We had a report...

An interesting report came in today, some short autocomplete queries return an unexpected 400 error with a leading slash (`/`). Some examples that are broken: [/v1/autocomplete?text=/cali](https://pelias.github.io/compare/#/v1/autocomplete?text=%2Fcali) [/v1/autocomplete?text=/colo](https://pelias.github.io/compare/#/v1/autocomplete?text=%2Fcolo) [/v1/autocomplete?text=/brook](https://pelias.github.io/compare/#/v1/autocomplete?text=%2Fbrook) Some examples...

WIP: skip street parse when its also the subject

Use match instead of match_phrase query for autocomplete

This is a small but meaningful change I've been meaning to make to our autocomplete queries for a while. The primary `must` query in many of our autocomplete queries is...

[WIP] Reduce boost for postalcode matches in `/v1/search` queries

1

For many years now, we have often seen queries where incorrect results that happened to match on a postalcode were boosted above the correct match. Considering that there is no...

All the way back in 2017 we [added](https://github.com/pelias/api/pull/928) support for setting a [default focus.point](https://github.com/pelias/pelias/issues/569) value. Since then it's been the only default value that Pelias allows to be set. What...

What useful information can we put on the API root path?

2

The Pelias API root path has long included some simple static content from a [Markdown file](https://github.com/pelias/api/blob/master/public/apiDoc.md):  While the link to the docs is nice, the version is not especially...

Fix multiple bugs in confidence score handling

1

There were multiple issues with the fallback query confidence score calculation middleware. 1. Incorrect detection of handled query types. Essentially, the logic was negated 2. Incorrect list of supported query...
